Many members of Stronghold join for our workout facilities
and fall in love with climbing, while others join only for
the climbing walls and find themselves using weights and aerobic
workouts to improve their climbing. Our yoga class has become
extremely popular with climbers for the potential to improve
flexibility, strength, and focus but all fitness classes offer
a challenging and effective workout. Nonclimbers like to crosstrain
here because we offer a relaxed and affordable place to workout.
Our members who climb regularly travel to climbing areas all
over the Southeast, the United States, and even into other
countries. Give us a call at (803) 256-9001 with questions
regarding rates, groups, trips, classes, or competitions.
We'll be happy to show you the ropes!
